FWIW, Corolla is also capacity constrained still. Dealers cannot get enough of them. Camry supply is down as most '14s are dwindling and dealers are waiting for '15s.

yep... Toyota reported that they stopped fleet sales of Camry due to the low inventory. Their overall fleet sales were only 4% for the month, vs usual 8%-9%.

Nah, I travel a lot for work and am always renting cars. While there is a certain stigma about fleet sales, I do appreciate that I can still rent a Toyota while on travel!

I just can't take another Jeep Patriot, (previous gen) Chrysler 200, or tiny Chevy Cruze!
